In light of the recent cancellation of the Jazzfest and the negative publicity surrounding it, we of the jazz community are rallying to bring a positive note to the community and draw attention to the gigs that are proceeding this week.

Let’s lend our voices to celebrating what’s right with jazz in Calgary – our incredible pool of talent, fans who’ve remained loyal through thick & thin, venues who are presenting many of the shows that were cancelled, & media who’ve consistently spread the message. Bring your instruments & voices join the jazz parade today, starting at 4pm at Olympic Plaza & making it’s way to Beat Niq, “Dixie” style.
